For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

The hope for quantum computers is that the devices will be able to solve complex tasks such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking encrypted text. One of the main reasons that the machines are ...

Scientists made headlines last week for supposedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves the use of a quantum computer to simulate a wormhole in a simplified model of ...

Physicists have shown that simulating models of hypothetical time travel can solve experimental problems that appear impossible to solve using standard physics. Physicists have shown that simulating ...

A neural network is a machine learning model originally inspired by how the human brain works (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Jackie Niam) Precision measurements of theoretical parameters are a core element ...

Luminary is rethinking physics simulation workflows spanning GPU clusters from the ground up. The new company hopes the new architecture and business model will impact the simulation industry as much ...

Ever since Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed his simulation argument in 2001, the nerdiverse has attempted to assess the possibility that reality is not really real, that what we experience as ...
